There’s no denying children get a LOT of candy at Halloween! So much, in fact, that a lot of it ends up getting thrown in the bin. Stand out from all the other houses, by handing out something different! Here are our Top 10 ideas for Halloween treats without all the sugar.
10 Unique Halloween Treats
1| Jack-o-Lantern Mandarins
Buy some mini mandarins and draw Jack-o-lantern faces on them with a black marker or a black satin ribbon. You can also wrap them in plastic bags and use the black satin to lock the bag up. This is a great healthy Halloween treat for little kids.
2| Bouncy balls
Giving out little toys like those bouncing balls might be more fun than handing out plain candy. We bet it will be even better if you can find glow-in-the-dark or eye-ball themed ones!
3| Glow in the dark things
Another think you can give out is anything that glows in the dark. You can give out glow in the dark bracelets, rings, or aliens. This will make kids have so much fun.
4| Mini bubble wands
Another idea for a unique and fun Halloween treat is to give out bubble wands. You can either get back and orange ones, or get those that come in with characters that all children love.
5| Popcorn
If you can’t find Halloween themed popcorn boxes. Get the plain white ones and decorate them with your little ones. This will make a great bonding and artsy project.
6| Mini water bottles
Trick or treating is thirsty work! Accessories the bottles with Halloween stickers.
7| Mini snacks
It’s a change from all the sweet stuff. And even better if you can buy monster-shaped ones! You can either get chips, nuts, or anything else that comes to mind.
8| Juice cups or boxes
Halloween themed cups filled with ice and cold juice will go down as a great Halloween treat!
9| Re-useable plastic straws
Curly novelty straws are always a hit.
10| Pick-Your-Own Treat
Make up a basket full of novelty treats and allow kids to choose one item. For example – slap bands, novelty glasses, mini flashlights, fake mustaches, stamps, stickers, small Play-Doh or slime tubs, erasers, Halloween-themed balloons, mini nail polishes, whistles, cardboard masks, hair ties, tiny notebooks, and pencils.
When your kids come home with too much candy, don’t throw it away! Make up a few small bags for local gardeners or construction sites. Or, check out the Candy Buy-Back Scheme run by Clover Medical Centre in Dubai, who will take your candy in exchange for a certificate and free consultation. Additionally, they will spread some cheer by packaging up candies and handing out to labour community groups!
